Rapper Slim Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was fatally shot at a music studio in southeast Atlanta on Friday. Slim Dunkin, whose real name is Mario Hamilton, was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died. The incident happened in the 1000 block of Memorial Drive. Investigators said the rapper was at the studio to shoot a music video. “Now it’s my understanding prior to the video shoot, Mr. Hamilton became involved in a verbal altercation with another individual who we believe produced a handgun, discharged that weapon at least one time, striking Mr. Hamilton in the chest,” Atlanta police Maj. Keith Meadows told Channel 2.

Police said they do not know what the argument was about and the shooter has not been identified. Meadows said 13 to 20 people were in the building when the shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m. Witnesses have been questioned and the investigation is continuing.
